I decided to post here because the solution was hard to find on the net In Debian Jessie last update 8.9 (Sept 2017): https://gist.github.com/Rambou/c6769caee19b0b9915d8342b86c3ef72

From the web site I just did the last part of #5

I had a problem with the nouveaufb driver. Nouveau was the new comer installed by my migration towards UEFI and it was called on boot time making the boot console to stop The most enoying problem was that I was not able to log in any terminal using CTL ALT F1 or F2 ... F6., but ALT F7 was bringing me back to the gui. SO .. I did create a file in /etc/modprobe.d called blacklist-nouveau.conf . The file name can be anything.conf as it is not relevant except for us "Humans"

So replace your conflicting driver name in accordance in the file.

# Blacklist-nouveau.conf list

blacklist nouveau

blacklist lbm-nouveau

options nouveau modeset=0

alias nouveau off

alias lbm-nouveau off

#END

The next command will create a new file called nouveau-kms.conf and push a string into it.

sudo echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf

After this you have to run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

Reboot

This solve this issue
